**Don't Spam**

just as a joke -- my colleague told me that he had prepared stacks of photocopied clerking notes for the admissions for his call to present at handover round, and the consultant asked him if he knew what day it was -- silence -- ans: "Today is Earth Day, and you've killed so many trees with your handover."

Nice post........!
